1. We are going on a minibeast hunt.

2. We’re searching for some minibeasts, There must be some, or one at least! We’ve seen their pictures in a book, Now I wonder where we should look ….? Let’s look on a leaf… Remember to look underneath. We might find a caterpillar having its lunch, There it is, going munch, munch, munch! (Action – hands opening and closing like mouths) Let’s look under a log pile… It looks like it’s been there a long while. We might find some woodlice in the wood all holey, They’ve rolled into ball, rolley, polley, rolley! (Action – circular motion with hands) Let’s look in the soil and earth… It’s cool and dark under the turf. We might find a worm having a wriggle, It’s dived into the soil going wiggle, wiggle, wiggle! (Action – wiggle one finger) Let’s look on the ground… Can we see any mounds? We might find some ants who are in a hurry, They walk in line going scurry, scurry, scurry! (Action – wiggle all fingers like legs) Let’s look in the long grass… It tickles as we brush past. We might find a spider at home in its web, Dingling and dangling on a long thread! (Action – 2 hands joined by thumbs, wiggling all fingers to make a spider)
